I know of others who use such tools in place of screen readers. They now have a way to interact with a document by not just reading it. These could be incredible tools to aid daily life

I think it depends on how it's used. I have really bad time blindness. It's about 5 minutes long so in a world when I'm constantly having to know or say how long things take me, I now have a tool that not only helps me, but also stops my anxiety from going to those really dark places

This year I discovered you can DOI software... and it’s been a game-changer!

After years of working on my web apps (fuelled mostly by insomnia), I’ve finally given my projects the recognition they deserve 😃

I was lucky enough to read early drafts of this book. I've also read the published version (which I bought so this isn't an ad!). It truly encapsulates Olle's ethos of science communication and the world.

If you have any interest in science or science communication, this is a great read!
